Is being a little over GVWR no worse than doing 60 in a 55?

We're struggling between a Lance1985 and a 2285 and to add to that struggle are concerned about our RAM1500 tow capabilities. Many, maybe a majority, are pulling 1985s and 2285s size TTs, 4500 to 500...

GVWR is 6900 but each axle is 3900. I'm at 6600lbs with 2 adults, 3 dogs, 2 kayaks on a canopy and a small amount of gear. I'm (totally) guessing another 600lbs for an 800lb tongue weight which puts me over. Tow max is 7900 and GCVW is 13500 for our Ram1500 / 5.7hemi / CC / 4x4.
